[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1477057774' post='3159582'] Normally between this time and Christmas, including Black Friday, Presonus do really good deals. Usually the upgrade from 'Artist' to the Full version is heavily discounted - Keep your eyes peeled. [/quote] Ah yes... after last year, I vowed that I wasn't going to make any non-essential purchases on Black Friday this year... 🙃

Yes, imagine Back Door without the talent... :-D

My first band started out as guitar/bass/keys/drums/sax, we lost the guitar and added trumpet (doubling mandolin). Then we lost the keys and trumpet and carried on with just bass, drums and sax - and did more gigs with that lineup than the other two combined!

I blame the internet! What you see is what you pay online, and that's spread to bricks and mortar. Otherwise people would look at the list-priced (but haggle-able) item in the shop and say, nah, I'll just get it online.

[quote name='AustinArto' timestamp='1476891974' post='3158197'] Three pages in and nobody's mentioned the bloke who wrote Thriller was from Skegness. And died recently. [/quote] That's coz he was from Cleethorphes.

[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1476883746' post='3158081'] My brother then bought me a police box set some years later and I love it. [/quote] Cool!

[quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1476865662' post='3157817'] Only just seen this thread, so fleabay link is dead. [/quote] Scroll down and the original details are still there...

[quote name='No. 8 Wire' timestamp='1476864862' post='3157807'] Jamareo Artis. Also a decent cover here: [url="https://vimeo.com/186293648"]https://vimeo.com/186293648[/url] [/quote] With a link to a transcription in the description - nice!

[quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1476812501' post='3157525'] I'd be happy to give you £1k for it. [/quote] I'll have it for £950!

Really enjoying these clips, thanks folks! [quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1470171400' post='3103893'] Hadn't seen that. Wardrobe malfunction. [/quote] And it took put her off performing for three decades!

[quote name='DorsetBlue' timestamp='1476779516' post='3157081'] I use TuxGuitar. Put it in as Tab and it populates the score for you (I can read music as well). Should be available for any OS (its a Java application I think) and it is Free. If I want to print out a tab or score from it, I export to Lilypond and edit/convert to PDF in Frescobaldi. [/quote] Nice to find another Lilypond/Frescobaldi user! (Although I've recently defected to Notion as it runs on iOS.)

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1476726078' post='3156708'] Two pages of Sting-stuff, and nobody's mentioned his Tantric bonking yet! What's happened to Basschat??!! [/quote] Ah yes, tantric sex is like a visit from a shoddy courier - you stay in for ages and no one comes!

I was recommend to use a glass-fibre eraser - I bought one from Maplins but haven't tried it yet!

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1476707306' post='3156444'] The aged process is expensive. [/quote] Well, it takes a long time

Sounds like you want a Tilt EQ- plenty of software options (e.g. http://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2016/5/9/three-tilt-eq-plug-ins-i-love) but rarer in the real world!

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1476655589' post='3156120'] Green buses drive fast always . [/quote] Haven't heard that one! For the treble clef, the classic is Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, and the bass clef version I learnt was the less-than-satisfactory Good Boys Deserve Favour Always.

Pen and paper is always great for getting stuff down quickly, and software is great for verifying you've got it right - especially useful for those pesky rhythms! So I'm firmly in the "both" camp. With a big +1 for Notion if you have an iPad - in fact the ability to use it on the move and at home was what what tipped me over into buying an iPad!

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1476626665' post='3155719'] Imagine there's no drumers ? [/quote] It's oh so quiet...

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1476570208' post='3155374'] I know a few drumers , i have to say [/quote] You may say I'm a drumer, but I'm not the only one.

What's wrong with being sexy? ;-)

Peace Beyond Passion for me... it's so good I'm almost scared to listen to the other albums!
